Gophers assistant hockey captain Jack Ramsey signed an amateur tryout contract with the Indy Fuel, the ECHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks. The Blackhawks first drafted Ramsey in the seventh round of the 2014 NHL entry draft.
The Chanhassen native had eight goals and 16 assists in 143 career games for the Gophers. He helped the team win two consecutive Big Ten regular-season titles in 2016 and 2017, and played in 96 games in a row to end his collegiate career.
